"When Scripture calls God, or individual Persons of the Godhead, 'holy', the word signifies everything about God that sets Him apart from us and makes Him an object of awe, adoration, and dread to us. It covers all aspects of His transcendent greatness and moral perfection, and is characteristic of all His attributes, pointing to the 'Godness' of God at every point. The core of this truth, however, is God's purity that cannot tolerate any form of sin, and calls sinners to constant self-abasement in His presence." -R.C. Sproul on the holiness of God
